I have been feeling very hungry and weak, and tired during my pregnancy....Is there something wrong?

Question

I just found out that I am 6 weeks pregnant, and I am always tired and weak....I try to eat as much as possible but it never seems to be enough, I just end up waking up feeling starving and and very weak like i haven't ate in days......I am worried that I am not getting enough to eat, and I have also had very few bowel movements in the last 2 weeks......is this normal . I need answers!. I certainly don't want to have a miscarriage for this reason or any other reason........so please help me with some good answers. Thank you

Answer 1

I was like this for most of my pregnancy. Making a baby is hard work!

Answer 2

These are all normal pregnancy symptoms. There is no need to worry. You are perfectly normal for feeling this way. Congratulations and good luck with your pregnancy.

Answer 3

these are all normal pregnancy symptoms...after 12 weeks most ppl get more energy(although im 33 weeks and cant stop sleeping) congrats and good luck

Answer 4

Totally normal. I was like that when I wax first pregnant. I had to take a nap every day and they lasted 2 or more hours. I noticed that this went away the second that they started me on my pre-natal vitamins. Very few bowl movements is also very common.  

Answer 5

I was that way too when I was first pregnant. I could sleep all day if I had the chance. Not to mention eating everything in sight! Call your doc and get on some vitamins too help you.

good luck

Answer 6

Congratulations!

Nothings wrong. This is normal, specially if it's your first. Be careful with alot of eating. People tend to think just cause your pregnant it's fine. Not true. That's more pounds to lose later, specially if your carrying a boy. Your definitely going to eat more but go about it in a healthy way. If you feel your not getting enough you should talk to the Doctor, and see what he thinks about Prenatal Vitamins or Iron pills to help you. Remember everything you hear here is advice, every pregnancy different.

Answer 7

If something is wrong with you, then something must be wrong with me too! LOL

I feel the EXACT same way (I am now 7 1/2 weeks)  I am sooo tired and even though I'm queasy I can't get enough to eat.  I am constipated, bloated, and moody.

According to the 9 pregnancy books I read (Yes I am neurotic lol) all of this is totally normal!!

wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!
